Hi Philippe,

I guess no, sorry. Thanks for the hint though. You see, the Radio is a
totally different arrangement. The board would not fit into the Boom
case. Then it's technically different, too. As far as I know, the Radio
is a mono device concerning the power amplifiers. It drives an LCD
display, not a VFD. Even extracting the processor to mount it on the
Boom PCB is no use because it's a different one. Logitech picked a
Freescale CPU for the Radio but a Ubicom for the Boom. I don't think
they are compatible at all.
In my opinion it's safe to say that Boom PCBs won't appear anywhere on
the market anymore. A Boom owner will either keep or sell her/his intact
unit, and if it is broken, nobody is going to tear it down and sell the
parts. The broken ones go to eBay in one piece, or to the recycler.
I'm just wondering whether there are any former Squeezebox hardware
developers out there who could help. However, knowing now that Logitech
is definitely not going to disclose any technical documentation about
the devices, the ones involved in the development back then are probably
subject to a gagging order. The only chance I see is a "leak" (as in
Wikileaks) but up to this point they are really good in keeping their
secrets.
Well, or they never had any documentation at all. Then nothing can seep
through either. Some of the past user stories suggest that Logitech
would always replace the entire unit if anything was wrong. It appears
they never actually repaired stuff, similar to Apple nowadays. Maybe
they couldn't repair due to missing tech docs. Who knows?

Best regards,
Joe
